I’ll believe that story about Mariah Carey when I hear it from a better source than Wikipedia

I think through the years, they had some great lead vocalists but next to Caron, Victoria Wilson James is the bomb (http://tinyurl.com/2wovkp).

Soul II Soul are from my neck of the woods in London!
Back in the 90’s you would always hear Soul II Soul coming out of Jazzy’s shop in Camden and couldn’t help but bounce on in just to tune in to the vibe.
Aaww, those were the days..
See what you’ve done now Bella, you’ve got that beautiful tune playing in my head..
I’m sure you know it – it goes….back to life, back to reality..
LOVE IT BAD!!!
Thank you Bella for reviving the smooth tranquil rhythms from back in the day..
Much love to you, Sis!
Anita

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 17:53:00 +0000http://afrobella.com/?p=301#comment-37102I just finished reading the Wikipedia article Afrobella referred to. I noticed there are no citations to substantiate this Mariah/Caron Wheeler singing “controversy” as the Wikipedia author describes it.
I honestly don’t hear Mariah in the song myself. I think the process was used where Caron’s own voice has been layered in different ranges. Mariah and many other artists use this technique as well in the studio.
I am a HUGE music fan and I really like Mariah too but as an “old school” music fan I get annoyed that Caron Wheeler who is already an UNDERRATED artist is being furthered overshadowed by an unsubstantiated claim.
The Wikipedia article also mentions the Martha Wash/C&C Music Factory controversy. I think it’s an “apples and oranges” thing as it wasn’t about two great singers like Caron and Mariah, it was about a non-singing model lip-synching to Martha’s incredible voice.
If anyone knows of a verified quote and/or story out there somewhere about Mariah backing up Caron Wheeler, I will certainly stand corrected.
